She says she guesses he must have had some sort of funny dream, and not been really all waked up yet. But it must ha' gi'n her a turn, for all she ain't one of the nervous kind." Marise turned sick with shocked pity. The two women looked at each other, silently with shadowed eyes of foreboding. Mrs. Powers shook her head, and turned back into the pantry, shutting the door behind her.

Esther assented joyfully, and Miss Ashe led her to the pantry and showed her where to find a cloth and a pencil and a place to store the eggs. "While you are doing that, I can make out my list to send to Gorley; that will be capital!" "Cousin Charlotte," said Esther, in a voice that trembled a little with nervousness, "I I wanted to speak to you.

I surely love Bill enough, but if he doesn't love me maybe I'd better try somebody else. It's done here. "But not Trymie Icanspoon! No, he makes me sick. I guess I'll eat pickles." In the pantry she found the under scullery maid screaming with an earache. "You poor child," she said, sympathetically, "I'll run and get my husband and he'll cure it."

"You boys took it over?" and Dotty looked dumfounded. "Sure we did," said Bob; "weren't you glad?" "But why didn't you tell us? we almost went crazy!" "Crazy nothing! We left a note on the pantry shelf saying we took it. We called to you girls but you were primping in your room and didn't answer.

Somers does not belong to any that I do. At least, I've never seen him at any." "Call in the servants. Let's find out something about this household."

He lit a cigarette, watching her with amused tolerance. "Knollys put a horrible sticky fly-paper in the stewards' pantry one day. I was looking at it, and wishing flies needn't be made at all. Then I wished I could let the poor things all loose, no matter how horrible they are. There was one big bluebottle that had got stuck there on his back with his wings in the sticky stuff.

Put it in the pantry, Dolly; I daren't touch it myself." Dotty was quivering with excitement, but Dolly's steady hand carefully lifted the precious cake and carried it safely to the pantry. Later in the afternoon, the girls made ready to go to the bazaar. They were to serve as assistants in the cake department, for the majority of the cakes were to be sold.

"I should think Norah might leave it down low," he grumbled, dragging a chair into the pantry with some difficulty and proceeding to climb into it. By stretching, he managed to get his fingers on the cake box lid and pull it down. He opened it. The box was perfectly empty. "Why, the idea!" sputtered the outraged Twaddles, who felt distinctly cheated. "I wonder if Mother knows we haven't any cake.

Two couriers came presently jogging into view, and before the general sat in the famous butler's pantry chair at the family table, he had told the contents of two despatches from the Gray Fox in the field, and decided for the moment to say nothing of the third.
